It’s to save money. I’m a licensed termite inspector. Termites love moisture. It’s not a good idea to allow all of this moisture around your home, even worse, is putting mulch on the ground right under your roof line that’s against your house. You’re just asking for trouble. I’ve seen it time and time again with infestations they just love that moist soil.

I wouldn’t own a home without gutters personally.
